    Update: It s been a month and the dogs are still great. We did the follow up course two weeks later to assess how the dogs were doing and correct any commands we were doing incorrectly. it was extremely helpful and I recommend it. The important thing to know is that you must reinforce the training at home. The dogs are still so much better behaved and walking them is still so much more enjoyable. Still happy with the training.

    Juan and team are the best! Just got Chubbs back and he's a completely new dog, I couldn't be happier!

    What a great experience all around. After reviewing some options and other school choices, we decided to go with The Doggo based on overall feel. We were blown away by what a great decision it was. Value, communication and results were beyond all expectations. 10/10 would recommend training and any service this organization offers.

    I took my fur baby to Doggo and it was hard leaving her for five weeks. But the results are incredible and I still can't believe this is my dog. Juan and his staff are amazing at what they do. she made friends with Archie rookie and Willow. I love having her back and love taking her on walks. I recommend this place hands down.

    I waited a while to write this review because I genuinely hoped Juan would make things right--but unfortunately, he has not. I'm now left with an untrained dog, serious behavioral setbacks, and I am emotionally and financially exhausted. If you don't read the whole review, here's my advice: Get all expectations in writing before you drop off your dog. When you pick them up, do a full head-to-toe health check. Especially the neck! If Juan is as reputable as he claims, he should have no issue documenting what he says he'll deliver. Why I Hired Doggo I initially contacted Juan to train a new foster dog I had for six weeks, named Charlie. I told him upfront that Charlie had crate anxiety, leash reactivity to other dogs, and poor obedience in public. Juan told me these issues couldn't be handled in the 3-week program, so I paid for the 5-week board-and-train. Charlie already knew basic obedience--sit, down, heel--but couldn't do it under distraction. In the first week, Juan worked on things Charlie never struggled with, like potty training and jumping. By week two, I noticed he wasn't training Charlie in public, even though that was part of the deal. When I raised this, he called me and said, "Trust the process," claiming that public training comes after private progress. Throughout the five weeks, Juan sent nothing but positive updates: "Charlie is doing amazing." "He's very dog friendly." "He's excelling." But when I picked Charlie up, the tone changed. Juan said Charlie was "stubborn and hard" and admitted "he bit me." This was never communicated before. Once home, I saw little to no improvement. When I reached out again, Juan said I wouldn't see results for two more weeks--that's why he doesn't check in right away. But Charlie's behavior was out of control. I told Juan I was considering leaving a review, and instead of addressing my concerns, he offered to pick Charlie back up for three more weeks of "advanced" training. I agreed, hoping he would finally follow through on what he promised. What Happened Next Three weeks later, Juan returned Charlie to me at a Home Depot. During the go-home session, every time I used the e-collar, Charlie yelped loudly. Juan said: "He fakes it to get out of training. Keep using it." I followed his instructions. But after a few days of consistent yelping, I checked and found two wounds on Charlie's neck--one of them actively infected. The vet later confirmed these were caused by prolonged or improper use of the e-collar. I stopped contacting Juan until I had confirmation from the vet. Then, I asked him for a partial refund--not even the full $4,000 I paid. I asked for $1,400 (for the "advanced" training) and $300 (for the vet bill). He never responded again. I had to go through a third party to get a single response--he defended the training results but offered no accountability for the injury or lack of transparency (I added his response and my counter response). Where We Are Now Charlie has now: Bit four people since the training--something he had never done before. Seen multiple professional trainers and behaviorists who agree he's a difficult case because of anxiety and fear, not stubbornness. Been in weekly day training, private sessions, and obedience classes--all of which I pay out-of-pocket. I don't blame Juan for Charlie's anxiety, but I do hold him responsible for: Injuring my dog and dismissing it. Hiding behavioral red flags during training. Ghosting me after I asked for accountability. Selling me basic obedience while claiming to handle behavioral cases. I asked Juan for an in-person consultation before starting the program, and he refused--telling me he'd trained dogs for years and knew exactly what Charlie needed. I trusted that. I shouldn't have. Final Thoughts If you have a fearful or anxious dog--work with a certified behaviorist, not a board-and-train obedience program. I learned that the hard way. I'm not out for revenge, but I don't want others to waste their money or risk their dog being harmed like I did. Feel free to contact me directly (Email Tabletop03 at gmail)--I will share every email, vet bill, and message I have. I wish I had known better, and I hope this saves someone else from the pain I've gone through.

    The Doggo is the place to go to have your pet trained. It is hard for me to trust people with anything, but I trust Juan and his team. Our puppy was hyper and barked at people she didn't know. Our now 6 month old puppy is well behaved for a puppy. Don't get me wrong we as dog parents still have a long way to go. But Juan and his team gave us the comfort that we needed once we picked up our puppy and took her home. We are able to get things done around the home, go out in public to a park, and go out to restaurants or cafes. Any time we have had a question or concern Juan was there to give us the best advice and the reassurance we needed. If we had to do it all over again, I would come back to The Doggo in a heart beat.

    I could not write a better review for Juan, he's an amazing person who truly cares for his people and is extremely quick to respond to any needs. We enrolled Kai in the 5 week board and train and we couldn't be happier with the results. He was pulling extremely hard during his walks prior and would constantly sniff everything. After the training with Juan and his team, I could not believe that there is absolutely NO tension on the leash when walking our boy during our walks. The go home session also taught us to be a better role model and dog parents for Kai which is extremely important when continuing the progression with his obedience! Once again, an amazing experience and would 100% recommend it to anyone who would want to take the journey towards being a more confident dog parent!

    We took our 6 month old very high energy heeler possibly malinois mix to doggo and I have to say I am very happy with how she turned out. We are able to manage her much better on walks which was practically impossible beforehand. The communication with the trainers was amazing and they were super responsive. I will definitely continue to use them to reinforce training and even boarding and daycare!

    Juan and his staff turned my Belgian Malinois from a beast to a trained family pet...He's super intelligent but I was struggling with his training until I turned him over to them...Two months later...my dog Zeus is an amazing obedient dog...he's super chill and follows my commands on queue...I am very pleased with the training and highly recommend them...Just check out their stories on IG...I'm a happy customer.

    Omg so amazed by what Juan has turned my dog into, we did the 8 week program and we just got her back he trained us too. Before she wouldn't listen, she would lunged at other dogs, growl at them and try to attack them. And now she's calm walks with us doesn't attack other animals. We took her to my mother in laws house which she has Kat's and kittens and she didn't even look at them and kept focus on me. They gave us weekly updates, I high key recommend this place.

    Graduation day!

    When my husband's prior dog passed away we were thinking about not getting anymore dogs for a while…read morebut then I decided that I wanted to get my husband his dream dog, an English cream Golden Retriever. One rule was we were going to train her to be his service dog to help with mobility issues and we had to decide who to use to train her. We started off with the typical Petsmart training classes which were also great for what it was but knew we needed more. We called multiple trainers, had multiple consultations and no one we meshed with until we found Reymond. We started off with one class and even in the first class he gave us such amazing advice on training Hunny, techniques and was just a kind soul. We signed her up for private training lessons and he has helped Hunny to overcome some fears and training in real life vs a pet store. We were able to take her with us on a short Vegas trip where she was perfect. You tell me what young dog is able to lay down and settle at a Japanese Bbq place where all we are doing is grilling delicious meat and eating tons of food. So if you are wondering if you should hire Reymond and his company I am going to say yes, you won't regret it. A bonus is he also has group training classes that are very economical. With Reymond's help I know that Hunny will become an amazing service dog for my husband. Also, if ur lucky u get to pet his dog Pluto and give him some string cheese :)

What we loved the most about him is that he is a very straightforward owner and doesn't try to push anything on you. We went to many consults and felt like often times the owners worked more as salesman than actual dog trainers who cared about the dogs. We elected for a 4-week board and train and they kept us updated throughout the entering process and even sent us weekly video updates. The results were night and day. Not only did they help train our dog but what was most important is they took the time and effort to train US (arguably the more important training) on how to continue training at home. We are unequivocally Whittier Dog Club fans and will mentioned them to anyone looking for the right training facility for their dogs.

The trainers really understand dogs, not just obedience, but mindset, structure, and communication. Especially Chris the main trainer. The classes are fun, engaging, and empowering for both dogs and owners. You don't feel judged here--only supported and educated. Every session helps strengthen the bond with your dog while building real-world skills you can actually use. This has been a game changer for my reactive dog. Their boarding is a true home-away-from-home experience. You can tell the dogs are treated with respect, consistency, and kindness, not just "watched." It brings real peace of mind knowing your dog is in capable, understanding hands. Even dietary needs. If you have a high-drive breed, a protection dog, or a dog that needs extra patience and structure, this place is an absolute gem. Highly recommend to anyone who wants their dog understood, not labeled. This is the best investment your household can make!

    Been taking my 10 month old Min Pin Vinnie here for about 5 months now and honestly we love it!…read more This facility does a great job hiring really quality trainers (Donna, Jillian, Kody, Melanie just the awesome ones I've had the honor and pleasure of working with so far) that genuinely care about their clients and fur attachments (babies). It's made these classes invaluable and let me tell you some reasons why ... - your fur babies get trained via the knowledgeable, incredibly patient trainers training YOU, the parent (handler) - the social environment with other dogs and people around WHILE your baby gets trained by what you learn (they get used to all the distractions like in the outside world) as they are learning and it becomes a norm for them and helps with less skiddish behavior and able to focus better even with distractions - the variety of classes ... from beginner puppy to advanced levels and fun classes like different Agility class levels and even Pilates and playgroups for different sizes and personality types of dogs - did I mention the awesome trainers? They are always willing to answer your questions and eager to help in whatever way they can. This I signed up for the VIP program and honestly was a bit hesitant at first because of the price. But it really has been money so well spent. Don't get me wrong ... you have to put your time into it too in doing what you learned in class while at home and really thru-out any time you are not in class but talk about setting your dog up for success! It helps ease a lot of frustration between you and your dog when you help them understand you and you understand them so much more thru the bonding in this process of learning. To summarize ... just do it.
